I started out last week digging out my office area. I thought the project would take two, maybe three days at the most. I'm on day seven and I'm still not completely finished... but close.

My problem is that I just haven't felt well the past three or four days. I just don't have energy. My paper pumpkin sits on the table beside me.. unopened and I have cards I want - need - to do but all I want to do is sleep.. or at the very least snuggle against the pillows and play Majong until I'm actually sleepy.

Some might call it a symptom of depression. But trust me, I am not depressed. Sure, I miss my husband who has been gone for almost five weeks, but I work best when I'm alone - I accomplish more on my own schedule.

Maybe it's winter blah's. Or maybe I'm just not getting enough good sleep.

Whatever it is, I'll figure it out and be back to work as quick as I can.

In the mean time, I know I'll be off for at least another week. My sister is coming up for a week-long visit of just sister time. We'll work in our planners, play in our art journals, play scrabble and just visit. Who knows, I might even introduce her to Paper Pumpkin.. the box is still sitting here.

I noticed there were problems with the videos on a couple of previous posts. I've gone back and fixed those as well as checked the scheduled videos yet to run. Hopefully, they'll all be running smooth.

In the mean time, CREATE! Link me to what you're creating. And if you have a tip for beating the winter blah's, I'm willing to try most anything at this point.

Periodically, I will use Stampin' Up! videos to showcase products. They show them better than I ever good when it comes to the basics.. and face it - there are much more FUN ways to play with our toys then re-inventing the wheel.

During the 7-Day Launch I told you I loved the Bubbles n Fizz DSP. Because I only by sets that I know I will use over and over, I've not decided yet if I'll be purchasing the BUBBLE OVER bundle so I wanted to let the company show how much fun you will have if this is your style!

I absolutely LOVE 'Let the Good Times Roll' Bundle. Just super cute with lots of possibilities.

My challenge - this isn't one I'd get much use out of - but I'd love to have one to display.

If you have kids, do kids parties, have friends (maybe even you) who love roller coasters, than you will LOVE this bundle, too. Me, I'm not a roller coaster fan. I can't even ride a kiddie version at the carnival without cussing like a sailor. LOL I loved them as a kid. I'm not sure when petrification sat in.

Do you love roller coasters? What's your favorite one? Is there one on your Bucket List to ride?
